The holidays are just around the corner and Sasha Vujacic has started participating in the holiday spirit but he is not alone! During the Los Angeles Lakers Ring Ceremony, Sasha gave away 50 tickets to student-winners while many contestants across the Los Angeles County performed selfless acts of kindness. Amongst them: Garey High School, Halldale Elementary School, Los Angeles Center for Enriched Students (LACES), Normandie Avenue Elementary School, and many more students took part in the “Act of Kindness” contest made available for them through the website.

Take a moment to read through the essays each student submitted, view pictures and video of event, and learn how each of these students contributed their time in a selfless act for their community, family, and friends.

Each selected winner had the opportunity to meet Sasha after the game and received a personalize T-shirt. Sasha introduced himself to each winner, took pictures, and spent some time meeting each student.
